Po končanem ogledu nam na terasi poleg prodajalne postrežejo z odličnim čajem – brezplačno.
* * *
After we finish the tour around the factory we sit down on a nice terrace beside the store were they serve us great tea – for free.

Ko popijemo čaj se malce sprehodimo po prelepi plantaži. Srečamo nekaj delavk, vendar jim kar hitro uidemo, saj so blazno nadležne s fehtanjem za denar :/. Vodič nas je opozoril naj jim denarja ne dajemo …
* * *
After the “tea party” we take a short walk around beautiful tea plantations. We meet a few workers but they are so annoying with begging for money that we literally run away from them. Our guide warned us not to give them money …

Za tem se zapeljemo do razgledne točke, kjer se razprostira ta čudovit razgled …
* * *
After tea plantations visit we continue to a cliff from where you can see this …

Ampak bilo je vredno … lep pogled na slap s hriba nasproti, na poti navzdol pa smo se ustavili še prav pri slapu. Do tu je bilo treba sicer malo plezati in enkrat iti čez vodo. Ta pod čez vodo seveda ni potekala brez padcev :). V eno smer se je okopal en mulc, nazaj grede pa še drugi hahahahahah
* * *
But it was all worth it … nice view at the waterfall from another hill and on our way back, we stopped just below the waterfall. We needed to climb a bit and cross some water stream. This crossing of course did not go without accidents :). One kid fell into the water one way and the other on the way back hahahahah

Na poti nazaj v mesto nam zmanjka bencina :). Medtem, ko čakamo, da nam vodičev prijatelj prinese flašo bencina, naredim nekaj lepih portretov …
* * *
On the way back we ran out of gas. While we wait for guides friend to bring us a bottle of gasoline I make a few portraits …

Po uri in pol čakanja in zmrzovanja (ja na vrhu je mraz za popizdit, pa še hudo piha, tako da vzemite nujno s seboj kakšno dekico ali 6 🙂 ) končno dočakamo prizor zaradi katerega smo se sploh mučili priti do vrha … WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO. Noro … res noro!!!! … in vredno vsake stopnice :). Zdaj pa uživajte v razgledu 😉
* * *
After 1,5 hour of waiting and freezing (yes it is freezing on the top … and windy, so you should take a blanket or 6 with you 🙂 ) we finally see the view for which we were struggling all the way to the top …. WOOOOHOOOOOO. The view was insanely gorgeous … and worth every step :). And now … just enjoy 🙂

Tole so stopnice tik pod vrhom. Žal je tu v turistični sezoni takšna gužva, da se del turistov ustavi še precej niže in ne more v celoti uživati v čudovitem sončnem vzhodu …
* * *
This are stairs just below the top. Unfortunately in main tourist season Adam’s peak is so crowded that many tourist can not even reach the top and then can’t see this gorgeous sunrise in all his glory …

Tale dva psa sta nas spremljala skoraj celo pot do vrha. Na vrhu sta sicer nekam izginila, smo ju pa spet srečali na poti navzdol :). In zaslužila sta si nekaj priboljškov 😛
* * *
Those two dogs accompanied us all the way up. On the top they dissapeared somewhere, but they found us again on our way down 🙂 They deserved some food 😛

Ja, tam gor smo bli … na tisti špici, ki se skriva v megli. Matr, da dvomim, da bi (vsaj jaz) prlezu do vrha, če bi hodili podnevi in bi skoz gledal tja v luft :). Tako ko je bila tema, je bilo super … hodiš, hodiš …. in še hodiš …. pa hodiš … in potem ti kar naenkrat povejo, da je do vrha samo še 345 stopnic :). Vrhunsko 🙂
* * *
Yes, we were there on the top. On the peak that is hiding in the fog. Damn … i seriously doubt that I would make it to the top if the sun was up. I think all I would do was stare in the sky and think how far is it :). But in the night time it was great … you walk, walk … an walk … and you walk … and suddenly there are only 345 more steps to the top 🙂 Excellent 🙂

Tole bomo pa malo bolj na hitro obdelali, ker res ni bilo nič pametnega :/. Kakšnih 10 minut vožnje z busom od Elle je za pogledat tale slap. Nič za dol past, razen tega, da nam je model prodal par kamnov, ki jih je nabral pod slapom … in to za evre!!! Izgovor je pa bil, da jih zbira … a bejz no buksl … a misls, da jaz pa ne hahahahahhahahaha
* * *
About 10 minutes drive from Ella you can find this watterfall. Nothing to die for … but if you have a 2 hours to spare go and take a look. And there was a guy that sold us a few stones from the watterfal … and for eruos. He said that he is collecting them … really??? … and waht do you think that I am doing with them hahahahahhahahahaha

Tile dve fotki sami po sebi nista nič posebnega, posebna pa je situacija v kateri sem ju posnel :). V glavnem vozimo se proti Udawalawe (Udawalawe nacionalni park je naša naslednja destinacija) in šofer kar naenkrat ustavi in gre v gostilno … na kosilo!!!!! Ok … razumem, lakota je huda reč :). In baje to v teh krajih ni nič nenavadnega … če je model lačen gre pač jest …
* * *
Those two photos aren’t special. Special is the situation in which they were taken :). We are on the bus to Udawalawe (Udawalawe national park is our next destination) and the driver suddenly stops the bus and goes in to the restaurat … to eat!!! Ok … I can understand that you can not drive if you are hungry :). I heard that this is a common thing in Sri Lanka …
Še nekaj fotk s poti do Udawalawa …

Few more clicks I took on our way from Ella to Udawalawe …
